The objectives of this research were to (1) analyze components of the management for agricultural processed food industry based on the 4Ms management and (2) examine the consistency of the structural model and the empirical data. The sample consisted of 500 executives responsible for corporate in agricultural processed food industry that has registered from department of industrial works. Multi-stage Sampling was applied to the target group. The research instrument was a questionnaire. The results of first order CFA showed that all indices meet the fit criteria (CMIN = 123.13, CMIN/DF = 1.20, p-value = 0.07, GFI = 0.97 and RMSEA = 0.02), factor loading ranged from 0.55 to 0.86, p = .01. The results of second order CFA also showed that all indices meet the fit criteria (CMIN = 116.18, CMIN/DF = 1.16, p-value = 0.12, GFI = 0.97 and RMSEA = 0.01), the model was consistent with the empirical data, The 4Ms can be adapted to the management for agricultural processed food industry. Factor loading ranged from 0.69 to 0.87, p = .01. The results indicated that the management for agricultural processed food industry comprised of four factors according to priority of importance as following: Method (Factor loading = 0.87), Material, Management and Man.
